Aras
Building on the solid foundation of the reference Odar model, the Aras sets a new standard for turntables.
Reference Engineering. Real-World Size. Absolute Performance.
Building on the solid foundation of the reference Odar model and simply scaling it down, while introducing innovative new design solutions, the Aras turntable is the perfect choice for the discerning music lover and audiophile. Featuring the same 14 inch platter as the Odar and also imploying the 12 inch Cornet 3 arm.
Reference Sound. Refined Scale. Zero Compromise.
Here instead of having the armboard on the plinth, the Aras has a massive armboard completely separate from the plinth.
And if you need two arms, you simply add another armboard and tonearm. Supplied complete with platform and separate motor housing, the Aras is a true reference model, without needing a huge space or the need for you to take out a second mortgage on your house and without sacrificing one bit of performance.
An Evolution of Turntable Design Approach
Pear Audio Blue introduces a range of turntables and tonearms based on Tom Fletcher’s last ideas on turntable construction. Unrestricted from past designs Tom Fletcher designed a new range of turntables and tonearms for his good friend Peter Mezek, called Pear Audio Blue.

The Approach
Pear Audio Blue turntables and tonearms do not represent a revolution, but rather an evolution in Tom Fletcher’s approach to turntable design. Several features of Tom Fletcher’s designs from Nottingham Analogue remain. Pear Audio Blue uses the same motor principle and the motor still has to be initially spun by hand. This motor principle drastically reduces the resonance going from the motor to the platter and ensures speed accuracy.
The Features
Pear Audio Blue features an essential parameter in turntable design: matching materials able to control resonance naturally and that are sonically in phase. Components are selected to work perfectly together, making the whole more than the sum of its parts – creating a turntable in sonic harmony. Special attention has been placed on new bearing development, improved motor arrangement, and a different platter which results in astonishing realism, tonal quality and balance.
Homage to New Orleans Jazz Legends
Tom Fletcher and Peter Mezek often listened to New Orleans jazz together so each turntable is named after famous New Orleans jazz musicians. Each turntable is built upon the same design principles and consistently deliver high-performance sound, enduring build quality, and exceptional value well beyond their price point. Each model is handcrafted and undergoes extensive quality control before being shipped.
